Interesting post Josh. Re the loss of the items purchased. -Too bad that you didn't drive up to and then fly out of Toronto (or Montreal) as many of the Americans I met while in Cuba on various trips did. The Cuban authorities wouldn't stamp their passports but instead would issue an insert page that could be discarded once off Cuban soil. Each brought back cigars etc and then mailed them back to themselves from Canada (sometimes sending the cigar bands separately from the cigars). Then driving across the boarder to Detroit, NYC etc.
Please don't judge me as promoting this behaviour as I am just reporting what I saw repeated many times. I certainly wouldn't have an issue personally as I believe the embargo to be outdated and unfortunate.
